once my love stood still like a stagnant well for so long, you could hear
the song of spiders - strumming fibers
calling her to the web
my river sits in ebb
the little ones lean over - laughter echoes
bounce down the dark until it hits the floor
singin come on baby come on child - call your flo
like a seed of wonder - faith of mustard
o yeah, wo yeah
all is dark - all of the light is vanished it is gone
like something large
hovering high has covered up the sun
and something quiets the silken ringing
something breaks the strum...
a wish has finally come
ah oh ah no ah - all i want is to be writing
to be writing
once that wish did land
like a star in my hand - it burned and it burned and it burrowed in
soar through the source searching - hammer and ping
and tapped my virgin spring - and prime the vein with milk of mother
and wet my river bed
pearls strung up on silk thread - the starry one - beams a light
he's working under - diggin through the dark gatherin particles
findin everything you ever wished for in your soul like a seed of wonder faith of mustard
ah no ah no ahhhno
finally that tapped spring come runnin like a river
my song it came - ahh eeeyeah ohoo noooay
right away i went writin i went writin
right away i was hummin i was hummin
right away i was singin i was singin
right away i was lovin - and goes something like...
light...
i haven't always been under such a blue - only you
have seen such stormin in my life
the song of spiders - strumming fibers
calling her to the web
my river sits in ebb
the little ones lean over - laughter echoes
bounce down the dark until it hits the floor
singin come on baby come on child - call your flo
like a seed of wonder - faith of mustard
o yeah, wo yeah
all is dark - all of the light is vanished it is gone
like something large
hovering high has covered up the sun
and something quiets the silken ringing
something breaks the strum...
a wish has finally come
ah oh ah no ah - all i want is to be writing
to be writing
once that wish did land
like a star in my hand - it burned and it burned and it burrowed in
soar through the source searching - hammer and ping
and tapped my virgin spring - and prime the vein with milk of mother
and wet my river bed
pearls strung up on silk thread - the starry one - beams a light
he's working under - diggin through the dark gatherin particles
findin everything you ever wished for in your soul like a seed of wonder faith of mustard
ah no ah no ahhhno
finally that tapped spring come runnin like a river
my song it came - ahh eeeyeah ohoo noooay
right away i went writin i went writin
right away i was hummin i was hummin
right away i was singin i was singin
right away i was lovin - and goes something like...
light...
i haven't always been under such a blue - only you
have seen such stormin in my life

“Sort through the source searching”, “all I want is to be writing”, and “right away I went writing, humming, singing”, et cetera seem to indicate writer’s block. When she says “my love stood still like a stagnant well”, she means that her art - which is often about the topic of love or sex - remains inside of her, like her vaginal secretions.
The use of the word “well” alludes to the fluidity of her secretions. Phrases like “my river sits in ebb”, “call your flow”, “tapped my virgin spring”, and “wet my river bed” also allude to this fluidity, while “virgin spring” – in addition to the song’s title “seed of wonder” reinforce the sexual and reproductive connotations in the references to water.
Phrases like “tapped spring”, “hammer and ping” and “it burrowed in” refer to penetration. “That tapped spring came running like a river, my song it came” – which is followed by moaning – strengthens the case that “my song”, “my love”, and feminine ejaculate are metaphors for one another. “Come” in “a wish has finally come” is no less than a reference to orgasm, as in “cum”.
“Wet my river bed, pearls strung upon silk thread”: with “river bed”, she is referring to the fact that her bed has become moistened with feminine secretions. “Silk thread” is the composition of said bed, with the “pearls strung upon” the bed being comprised of beads of feminine moisture.
You could hear the song of spiders, strumming fibers,
Calling her to the web
My river sits in ebb
The little ones lean over, laughin' echoes
Bounce down the dark until it hits the floor
Singin' come on baby, come on child, call your flow
Like a seed of wonder, faith of mustard
Ah yeah, wo-oh yeah
All is dark
All of the light is vanished, it is gone
Like something large
Hovering high has covered up the sun
And something quiets the silken ringing
Something breaks the strum
A wish has finally come
Oh no, oh no
Oh, all I want is to be writin', to be writin'
All I want is to be writin' and it goes something like
Once, that wish did land
Like a star in my hand
It burned and it burned and it burrowed in
Sort through the source searching
Hammer and ping
And tapped my virgin spring
And prime the vein with milk of mother
And wet my river bed
Pearls strung upon silk thread
The starry one
Beams of light
He's working under
Diggin' through the dark gatherin' particles
Findin' everything you ever wished for in your soul
Like a seed of wonder, faith of mustard
Ah yeah, wo-oh yeah,
Oh ohh no, oh no
Oh no, no no
Finally that tapped spring come runnin' like a river
My song, it came
Ahhh eeeyeah, ohh nooo, oh I
Right away I went writin', I went writin'
Right away I was hummin' I was hummin'
Right away I was singin' I was singin'
Right away I was lovin'
And it goes something like
Light
I haven't always been under such a blue
Only you have seen such stormin' in my life
Ah, haa-uh
Haah, haa-uh
All I want is to be writin', to be writin'
All I want is to be writin' and it goes something like
(Repeat song from beginning)
